Why should he have not moved it? First of all, they broke the rules. Second, they don't advertise here. There's absolutely no reason for Leon to allow Legendary Auctions to post an advertisement in the main board. I really don't see an argument.

Boy, are we getting blasted just because we're afraid of small earthquakes. Wait until the day LA gets a foot of snow- we'll see how you guys deal with that.

What is this "snow," of which you speak?

The price on the heavily trimmed Waldon Smith Boston Cabinet is surprising to me - Lew Lipsett had a complete one (SGC 30) sell earlier this year for $8700 - the trimmed on all 4 sides one in Legendary is already at $5k + juice.

The irony of this thread is that Doug ended up getting his notice out to people on the main board despite Leon "burying" his post on the BST. Mission accomplished!

With the email notifications as well as a catalog, I wonder if ads or posts on the main board REALLY result in more bids for an auction house like Legendary?

The bidders in Legendary know perfectly well when their desired lots/auction will end. It probably makes no difference if there was a reminder thread on here or not.

The other irony is that, were one to go back through the threads, even to the Mastro days, Leon was usually getting grief because he was too close to Doug Allen and was too much on Doug's side insofar as the stuff on the board was concerned. Now he's getting it because he didn't treat Doug as well as he treats others. Go figure.

The thread is for piece of mind for the consignors.

...and surely those Kalamazoo Bats and Gypsy Queens can't go for such low prices...dang! worse than being deep into D cards, whilst the whole world is buying low grade T206's.

In Portland when we get a couple inches of snow the city shuts down. Schools close for about a week.
